Why Industry-Specific?

Different trades. Different payroll risks.

A one-size-fits-all time clock treats a roofing crew the same as a landscaping team. But their compliance exposure, site patterns, and overtime risk are completely different.

A roofing crew running 3 active re-roofs

  • High overtime exposure — early starts, late finishes, weather-dependent schedule changes
  • DOL scrutiny — prevailing wage on commercial projects, apprenticeship ratios
  • Site verification matters — crews at 3 addresses, multi-story work zones

A landscaping team hitting 15 residential stops a day

  • Drive-time inflation — 15 address changes means 14 gaps where hours get fuzzy
  • Lower overtime risk but higher buddy-punch risk — crews work independently
  • Client-billable hours need site-level tracking for accurate invoicing

Industry FAQ

Choosing the right industry workflow

Questions about trade-specific coverage, multi-trade operations, and how industry data is sourced.

The eight industries shown are the most common trades using Crewtrace today, but the platform works for any field-based team with hourly workers. If your trade involves crews moving between job sites, clocking in from the field, and exporting hours to payroll, the workflows translate directly. Reach out and we can map a rollout path for your specific operation.

Yes. General contractors and companies running mixed crews (e.g., plumbing and HVAC under one roof) can configure separate geofence zones, overtime rules, and payroll export templates per trade. The industry pages help you see how each trade's risk profile differs so you can prioritize the highest-ROI rollout order.

Priority trades are the industries where payroll leakage and compliance risk are highest based on DOL enforcement data and our customer base. Roofing, waterproofing, and general contractors tend to have the most exposure because they run multiple crews across dispersed sites with high overtime and prevailing-wage requirements.

The stats shown on each industry page come from a combination of DOL enforcement statistics, Bureau of Labor Statistics data for that trade, and anonymized aggregated data from Crewtrace customers in that industry. Individual results vary based on crew size, hourly rate, and payroll complexity.

Yes. The contact page lets you describe your crew setup, and we respond with a personalized walkthrough showing how the workflows would apply to your trade. If it is not a fit, we tell you directly.
